Abstract

With the continuous expansion of the Internet of things industry, more and more problems are exposed, among which professionals shortage is one of the most important problems. In order to solve the shortage of IoT professionals, the Chinese government encourages colleges and universities to open IoT major. Due to the short opening time, there are still some problems in professionals training. This paper reviews the situation of Internet of things major education in China. First, we introduce the background of development of Internet of things major, and then through the analysis of the layer models, we put forward a universally used IoT Major’s knowledge structure and related courses list. Finally, this paper classifies the universities offering Internet of things major in China and analyzes their educational status from the perspective of education level, geographical location and curriculum system.
